The Defeat of Municipal Socialism. Socialism, whether fighting openly or working under the name of Progressivism, "received a heavy blow last March at the hands of the electors of London. That example has been followed in the Municipal elections throughout the country, and November ist, 1907, will be remembered as a black-letter day by the Socialist leaders. It is a pity that the Radicals, as a party, have so coquetted with Socialist tendencies for their rout at the elections was probably largely owing to that cause. The final re- o. sults arc given in "The Daily Telegraph," of November 4th, J907, as showing :— Conservative gains 152 Liberal gains 23 Labour gains. 20 Socialist gains. 5 < The Railway Trouble. It is difficult to take stock of a situation which may at any time undergo decisive developments. Rumour, moreover, is al ways busy at such times, and has a way of confusing the issues. In the case of the railway dispute the immediate issue is per- iectly clear, and should be kept constantly iiii view. No question of wages or hours is directly involved. One point, and one point only, forms the bone of contention. The Amalgamated Society of Railway Ser- vants desires that the directors of the vari- out railway companies should recognise the Society as the official organisation of their employees, and the channel through which representation may and shall pass. In the event of the railway directors refusing to concede the point at issue, the Society threatens a general strike, and its officials are empowered to call cut its members by the ballot, of which the figures were de- clared at the Albert Hall on Sunday. The figures deserve careful study. The officials sent out 97,631 ballot papers, of which 88,134 were returned. There were 2,436 spoilt papers, 76)925 voted in favour of per- mitting strike notices to be issued, and 8.773 against that course. Seeing that there arc more than 600,000 railway ser- vants in the country, it appears that Mr Bell's support is not of such a magnitude as to justify him in leaving any stone un- turned which would bring about peace in- stead of a disastrous strike; and with the directors fully alive to the terrible conse quences of such an eventuality to the whole country, there should be sound grounds for hope that the difficulties will be solved. • « Was Garibaldi of Welsh extraction? It ':s pretty commonly believed in some parts of North Wales that Garibaldi's great- grandmother was a Welshwoman, and a native of Cerrig-y-Druidion. Mr J. H. Edwards (father of Mr Kelt Edwards) says that Professor Ellis Edwards, M.A., of Bala, assured him that Welsh blood flowed through the great general's veins, and that he (the professor) had been in communica- tion with Mr Edwin Jones, of Towyn, who was intimately acquainted with Garibaldi's son, respecting the latter's Welsh ances- tors. The son spent some time in Wales 6omc years ago endeavouring to trace his ancestors, but he was not entirely sucessful in his quest. However, old residents of Cerrig-y-Druidion assert that the Italian hero's great-grandmother was a Catherine Jones, and that she went to'Italy as a lady's maid with an English family, sub- sequently settling down in that country. Evidently the story wants a lot of clearing up—who will attempt it? m • • • Both political parties at Colwyn Bay have of late shown considerable signs of activity. A few weeks ago the Liberals assembled in large numbers on the occa- sion of the formal opening of their new club premises. They had the assistance of Mr J. Herbert Roberts, M.P., in carry- ing out the function, and the hon. member addressed his supporters in fluent terms upon Welsh political matters. Last week the Unionists met in full force to formally Open their new club premises, the ceremony being performed by the Earl of Dartmouth, who was supported bv Lord Kenyon, the Hon. Laurence A. Brodrick, Colonel Corn- wallis West, and others. Following closely as this event did upon the Welsh Liberal Convention, the occasion afforded the speakers at the Unionist gathering an op- portunity of criticising the political utte- rances of their opponents, more especially regarding the House of Lords. Lord Ken- yon also took the opportunity of defending Sir Watkin Williams Wynn against the attacks levelled against him in certain quarters on the subject of his agreement with his tenants. The Colwyn Bay Unionists are justly proud of their new club which, no doubt, will be the means of in- fusing- renewed vigour into the rank and file of the party.

FLINTSHIRE WATER DISPUTE. INJUNCTION AGAINST LORD DENBIGH. Mr Justice Neville, in the Chancery Division, On Tuesday concluded tho hearing of the action Of Eyto/i v. Lord Denbigh, by which the plain- liffs elumod an unfettered vater supply and control of a certain sluice and goit, or artificial vattr -ourse, Gtvibnant stream, Whitford, in the oonnty of Flint. It appeared that in 1836 certain mills, known as Llanerchymor Mills, and a residential property known aa Kersal, were demised to- gether with a right to construct cer- tain sluices for the keeping up of j* head of water for the supply of the mill. The j^lse was determined in 1899, and the properties became separated. Under the original lease there was a right to take certain waters over tll,-) land of the lessee, with a right to extend the U- of ,h. water for the purpose of running a Will belonging to the lessee, but not situated on thi demised premises. That being the state of things in 1891, a grant was mado by the owner of the reversion to the owner of the lease of the old works and mill, together with an additional Piece of ground. The question was what was the proper construction of that grant, having regard to the circumstances as they existed at the time. His Lordship was of opinion that the require- 1; Inents frchi the lessee with regard to the sluice Save him tho right to the ccntrol of the sluice So far as was necessary for the control of the Water, and accordingly made a declaration that the plaintiff, as owner of the lead mills, was Wititled to the control of the sluice without any Interference and to a supply of water from the Artificial water course or goit. An injunction w- also granted on the terms of the declaration, and the defendant was ordered to pay the costs of tho action.

"ALONG THE COAST." (By a Travelling Correspondent). Canon David Jones, of Penmacnmawr, casts his iniluencc in the right direction among his brethren and sisters at the Con- way Board of Guardians. At the meeting on Friday, for instance, he look up a case of a poor paralysed woman with children, and induced the Board to direct that the mother and children should be given the grateful shelter of the Workhouse. The case in question was clearly one of those in which the Guardians ought, on behalf of the ratepayers, whose county they are charged to administrate, to make generous provision, even though the male parent was said to be able-bodied. Further on at the meeting another case was mentioned in which a young couple were both too ill to maintain themselves, but both declared that they would never undergo the indig- nity of being taken to the Union work- house. Several members of the Board commended the proper spirit" which the young couple displayed, and the Guardians began to think that here indeed one had an instance of Spartan independence of character, which would suffer any pain rather than submit to disgrace • • • "If only we could cultivate that horror of the workhouse," the Board were think- ing, "and restore that love of being self- supporting, which formerly made the Bri- tish peasantry so noble-minded, how good it would be." But the couple in question were, it appeared, quite willing to accept relief from the Guardians in cash. Canon David Jones rose, and in a few judicious words, told the Board that there was no difference whatever between going to the workhouse and being fed and lodged there at the public expense and having to be sup; ported by the public as out-door paupers. That is a very important lesson, and the need for it is urgent. The distribution of "out-relief" is, though necessary and de- sirable in all cases of extreme temporary poverty, and in case of elderly persons who, with the help of a shilling or two a week may be able to live in frugal comfort in their own homes, a very insidious form of doles at the public expense, and liable to be much misused. There is a risk of a Board mak- ing use of its powers as a dispenser of gifts for unworthy motives, and there is also the risk of the Board being imposed upon by persons who arc only pretended paupers. Fortunately, the high character of the main body of Welsh Guardians gives us poor contributors of rates a guarantee against the first risk, but the best insurance against the second risk is, after all, a stern deter- mination that no relief should be given in cash except temporarily in emergencies, and in those cases of very old persons who are able to manage on a lesser sum in money than it would cost to keep them in the Workhouse. < < While I am criticising our poor law ad- ministration, I may allude to a singular case which, I hear, ocupied the attention of the Board last week. The workhouse is the home, unfortunately, of quite a big family of children, who attend school in the town. One day as the boys were re- turning, one of them helped himself to a packet of candles from a stack at a shop door. On the way to the workhouse, the packet of over twenty candles was opened, and the candles were distributed among the lads, who concealed them in their cloth- ing. But, fortunately, for the honour of the boys, though unfortunately for the lark they had in mind, the porter was sharp enough to sec that some of the boys had something they should not have under their jackets, and the plot was laid bare. The tradesman was good enough to take back the candles, and the boys were left to be dealt with by the Guardians. It seems that their intention 'was to use the candles for lighting up the dormitory after they had been put to bed. We can imagine the de- light such a piece of insubordination gives the boys at a public school, when, in the dead of night, having feigned sleep when the usher orform master in charge of them looks in on his way to his own room, they strike a light, illuminate their dormitory with candles smuggled in and concealed with such astuteness, and pro- duce the indigestible luxuries which they have in a similar way secured and hidden for the midnight forbidden feast. < There is a huge literature, ranging from "Tom Brown's Schooldays" to the wildest penny dreadful," devoted to exploits of that kind, and if their "betters" enjoy life in that odd way we can surely excuse the little nippers at Conway Workhouse for longing to copy the example. But, except in the pernicious pages of the worst class of "penny dreadful," the schoolboys of fic- tion always most strictly observe the laws of the Decalogue. Nothing ever would in duce them to tell a lie, and nothing ever would induce them to steal. Even in the more doubtful "dreadfuls" lies are con- demned, and the only thefts condoned are those of apples from the neighbouring an- gry farmer's orchard. The little "betots" of Conway Workhouse must not, of course, be allowed to emulate their more fortunate and more free fellows at the boarding schools, even in the matter of night-time larks in the dormitory, but that is not be- cause they have not as much rieht to hap- piness and high spirits as any other sub- jects of King Edward, but because it is neither good for them to keep awake at night nor safe for the other denizens of the workhouse that childrea should be able to get lights to play with when the officers believe them to be safely in the arms of Morpheus. Pre-eminently important, how- ever, is the desire that the lads should grow up with a manly determination that whatever they possess shall be acquired as the result of their own honest effort of brain and brawn," as Mr William Jones, M.P., always calls mind and muscle. An attempt was made by the Guardians, through the Chairman, when the boys were interviewed by the Board, to teach them this lesson, which is all-important for their future happiness and well-being. # # # These incidents, and others which have recently occurred at Conway Workhouse, should embolden the Guardians to con- sider, at an early date, whether the time has not arrived, or is fast approaching, when the children in the institution should be boarded out, or removed to cottage homes. « < The dispute between the Colwyn Bay Urban District Council and the Conway Rural District Council about the refuse tip in the rural district near Llanelian does no seem likely to end yet a while. Mr Levi John, at the last meeting of the Rural Council, very bluntly stated that the heap was getting larger and the nuisance in- creasing accordingly. The Mcdical Officer desired that the tip should be levelled regu- larly, and covered with a sufficient depth of sweet soil, which, by the bacterial action now so generally employed in sewage treat- ment, would dispose effectually of any foetid emanations, but that expense seems not to have been incurred. Mr Edward Williams, however, had a strange storv to tell. According to him, there are persons encamped on the tip who are making a living by ransacking the rubbish and pick- ing up "unconsidered trifles," which may be turned, by marketing in the right place, into coppers, if not into silver. In a place of residence of more or less well-to-do people like Colwyn Bay there is always the chance that even valuables may be acci- dentally cast into the bins, and many arti- j cles which would be regarded as needless lumber by their owners, but as of real value to others, arc also got rid of in- tentionally in the same way. The profit- able nature of the Colwyn Bay tip has evi- dently been discovered, and the heap is being industriously" exploited. » • • w The Conway Union public vaccinators do not take kindly to the proposal to give them "the Irishman's rise." They have been paid at a certain rate for a few years, and the Guardians' want to bring down their allowance to something less than half" what has previously been paid. A similar move in the direction of economy is being made in other Unions. Dr. Ken- rick Davies hinted that the Guardians tended to become "sweaters." It may be that owing to uncertainty as to how the scale of emoluments, fixed when the last Vaccination Act was passed, would work out, it was conceived on too generous lines. The doctors do not think so, clearly, but before we finally come to a judgment be- tween the doctors and the Board we will wait until we learn the result of their pro- posed conference.

DENBIGHSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL. THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE CRITICISED. A quarterly meeting of the Denbighshire County Council was held on Friday at Wrexham, Mr Edward Roberts presiding. Colonel Corn- wallest West stated that on the previous day the Lords-Lieutenant of Wales were addressed by Mr Haldane at Eaton Hall in reference to the formation and duties of the new County Asso- ciations, and as two of the members of the Asso- ciation for Denbighshire had to be nominated by that Council, he proposed that the Chairman and Mr W. P. Denning should be nominated by that body. This was seconded by Mr J. Wilcox and agreed to unanimously. TIfE ItA TES. Alderman Simon Jones, cf the Fi- nanco Committee, in protoiuii,- ,.uo budget for the ensuing half-year, stated that a rate of 5d in the £ would be required for general purposes, and 6d in tho £ for educational purposes, making a total of lid, as against lljd for the last half- year, or a tùlai for the twelve months of lj lOid. The budget was agreed to. PROPOSED INCREASED REPRESENTA- TION. Mr J. WiJcoxcn. chairman of the Boundaries and Local Government Aot Committee, pre- sented a schemo for the readjustment and m crease of the representation on t.he Council. It was proposed to increase number of mem- bers by 12, two of these being allocated to Wrexham. It was resolved that the further consideration of the matter should bo deferred to a special meeting of the Council. DELEGATION OF POWERS. Mr W. G. Dodd proposed lihat. the powers of the Council (except the powers of levying a rate or borrowing money) be delegated to the County Education Committee until February next. This having been seconded, Mr George Bevan strongly condemned the proposal. He pointed out that tho bulk of the members of that? committee did not diroctJy represent the ratepayers, and ho thought that was altogether wrong. The Council was a democratic association, and its members ought to have more control over the work of education than they had under the pre- sent method. He considered that the local school managers ought to be given a freer hand, and not be snubbed a, they now too frequently were. Unless there was some alteration in the mode of conducting the work of education they would end in ruin and destruction. Colonel Cornwallis West agreed that if more work was given to the local managers it would have the effect of removing a great, deal of dis- satisfaction on tho part of the public as to the work of the Education Committee. Mr George Cromar objected to any more work being given to the local managers until the law was altered, so that those managers were all directly elected by the ratepayers. Sir W. W. Wynn pointed out that there were no fewer than 11 aldermen on the Education Committee, and niue co-opted members, two of whom did not even reside in the county, and he asked if that could be called a representative body? The committee ought to be fully repre- sentative of the ratepayers. If that was brought about he felt sure that a. good deal of t.he money now spent on the Director of Education, his clerks, etc., would be saved. Mr Dodd, replying upon the discussion, denied that. the Education Committee spent money recklessly; in fact, t.he rates in many places were lower now than they were three years ago. Ho also combated the statements that very little was delegated to the local managers, and asserted that there was a. good deal of work placed in their hands. The resolution of Mr Dodd was carried.

COLWYN BAY LIBERAL ASSOCIATION, "THE INFLUENCE OF NONCONFORMITY." Mr E. Jackson presided at Friday's meeting Oif tho Liberaj Association, when Mr Thomas Roberta, Glamvydden, read a paper on "Tlhe influence of jNorixx^ifforjiiity." Mr Roberts, having dealt with tho origin of Nonconformity both in Europe and in this country, claimed that to-day its influence wae felt on every hand in lands in the common relations oi every day life, and in the commercial world around' us- Everywhere it was a purifying, uplifting and euroest influence, and he hoped that tlhe youirageir meanbeirs of the Association would Dcccme better acquainted with this (spirit, which so beneficially permeated the whole world Its influence was very strong in the framing oL modern legislation for thiore were several Non- conformists at the head of the Government, not tho least notable among tthem being Mr Lloyol George. In the same way it had influ- cmced the laws of tho lsnd in previous years as was evidenced in tthe Rusfctrin Bill of 1832, the abolition of Slavery, Catholic Emancipa- tion, Free Trade, tho Temperance Movement, and the Abolition of Church ratee, and in this connection tlhey could mot forget the names of such leaders as John Bright-, Edward MialI, Joseph Lancaster, W. E- Gladstone, Henry Richard, and many othorp- This influence was also felt in many other spheres as for ex- ample in the literature Off our country, and amongst tho Nonconformist autliors whom he would mention ivere John Milton. John Bunyan, CoJoric'ge, F(.der. Browning, Carlylc, Ruskint Ieaao Taylor, Mill, Marriet, Mar- tineau, Harriet Becoher Stowc, George Elliott and George Mac-don aid- In temperance and missionary work the value of tho influence of Nonconformity could not bo over-estimated. In ordeir to attain their present position amd' power Ncaioo-nfonmietfl ihad been obliged to pass through many eras ci persecution- Deal- ing at leriigiih. witlh the historv of education, Mr Roberts said they were often told that be- fore the end of the 18th oentuiry education was fostered by the Church, but it would be well at the ganue time to recajl the fact that there was a law in exieenco forbidding tthe opening of aingr school except under the licence of the Bishop. During 60 yeatna of the 18th ceotury the history of education is a blank. In 1797 Joseph Lancaster, the Quaker, started primary pchoofe oil tho broadest principles, but the ecitoeme waa denounced from tho pulpit as wild, absurd, and anti-Christian. In 1811 the National Schools Society was formed, and all chiMrten ta-uighst in the ecihools were to be in- etrnoted in the liturgy a,11(" catechism of the Church ci England, and to attend the public wopsihip at Church on Sunday- Between these two kinJr) of schools the battle raged, and still ra.god. The speaker referred to Mar Joseph Chamberlain's opposition before the Act of 1870 to the nates being devoted to the support of <?enominational schools- The question now was thou Id Nonconformists revert to their position before 1870 and demand that only se- cular education bo paid for by tile State and out of tho rates, ? The C,ha,i.rma«n followed with an addireas, in which ho outlined the progress of Nonoonfor- mitv since the llt-h century. The Rov. Thos.

CARNARVON. A CONSERVATIVE GAIN. The verdict of the electors in Carnarvon ;'5 a triumph for Contcrvatifm. A sea-t has been gained by the Conservative party, and this is al the more satisfactory in view of the fact that every effort was made by tho ieaders of the party* to avoid a contes-t. Recently, by the death of Dr. John Wi.iiams, there- was a vacancy 011 the aldermame bench. The Liberals wcro desirous that Mr J. T. Ro "oeils, who has been on tho Council for many years (although not the renior councillor), should fill the vacancy. This pro- posal t,he Conservatives ^ceepted upon tho under- standing that tho next, vacancy which occurred would be given to their party. It was also ar- ranged (upon certain terms) that the vacancy caused by the elevation of Mr J. T. Roberte, bo given to a Liberal nominee. The name of one of the members of the Rs\fo.rm Club was submitted and accepted, and it wats there- fore thought that a contest would be avoided'. It would appear, however, that, although the leadens, of the Liberal party wero unanimous in their selection, their choice did not. meet. with tihe a-ppro-va! of the general body of the party, with the result that three other Liberals were nomi- nated. In consequence, and at the eleventh hour. two additional Conserva-tivcs were nomi- nated to support Messrs M. E. Nee and T. Arm- strong, the retiring meitibem. As no compro- mise cou.d be effected, a contest was inevitable. The eelectcd candidates on behalf of tho Con- servative party were. M.r Alfred Richards, ohair- man of the Conservative Club, and Mr J. O. Evaru-, vice-chairman of the club. Tho former decided not to go to tho poll, but Mr Evajis resolved to support his party under the circum- etances, and a gratifying feature of the ejection was the fact that the tihree Conservative candi- da.tes prosecuted a most effective canvase within the very short period' at t-heir disposal, and the result proves that when the party is unanimous, aa On this occasion, its true strength muet be revealed. The result was ats follows:— WESTERN WARD (Four Seats). J. O. Evans (C.) 487 M. E. Nee (C.) 456 Owen Evanu (L.) 451 T. Armstrong (C.) 448 H. E. Roberts (L.) 411 J. Jones (L.) 403 R. E.

Evans and Son, coal merchants, Caj-narvorij and 1 a the son of the late Mr Owen Evajis, who, for many years, was a. useful member of the Council. His position as viccuchairman of the Conservative Club undoubtedly astdeted his candidature, and he iN moreover, popular with all classes of the community. Of the retiring membens who have been re- turned, it may be stated that Mr M. E. Nee has proved a. useful member of the Council, especi- ally in thoe capacity of chairman of tho Sanitary Conunittce, the most important oommittco of the Council and he has also rendered valuable service to the town on deputations, and in other capacities. As secretary of the Carnarvonshire Constitutional Association, he i" an old cam- paigner, and naturally the brunt of the contest fell upon his shoulders. The friends of Mr T. Armstrong, the other re- tiring councillor, will rejoice at his success, which was achieved despite the opposition offered by the Temperance party.

CONWAY. CONSERVATIVE VICTORIES. Polling took placc on Friday for the election of four members to the Conway Town Council. There were two polling stations—one at the Guild Hall and1 tho other at Tywyn. The total number of votes polled at both places was 2731, and there were only four spoilt papers. At Tywyn 249 pemons voted out -of a. possible 349, and the total number of persons who voted1 at Conway was 766. Although during the day thero were no ex- citing incidents, enthusiasm reached a. high pitch by the evening. Seldom, if ever, has such a crowd waited for the result of a municipal elec- tion 36 that which assembled in tho vicinity of the Guild Hall. The four contested seato were previeufcJy held by Conservatives, but owing to Dr. Prichard being raised to the aJdeirmanic bench, a new vacancy was created, and conse- quently 0nly_ three of the Conservatives returned at the previous ejection were retiring. They were Messrs James Porter, Edward Jones, and W. M. Sever, tho latter, however, not seeking re-election. The two former were returned, to- gether with Mr Fred Jones, a new Conserva- tive member, and Mr Hugh Owen, a LibcraJ. Mr James Porter headed the poll with an over- whelming majority. The contest, between the other members proved a. very close one, with the exception of Mr Thomas Roberts, the Labour candidate, who- only secured! 98 votes. The Mayor declared the result of the noli as follows:- Mr Jamea Porter (C.) 453 Mr Edward Jones (C.) 332 Mr Hugh Owen (L.) 326 Mr Fred Johnson Jones (C.) 325 (TIle abovo were elected). Mr John Jones (L.) 318 Mr Hugh Jones (C.) 317 I Mr J. T. Morgan (L.) 275 Mr John Roberts (L.) 273 Mr Thomas Roberts (Labour) 98 CELEBRATING THE VICTORIES. There was a large gathering at the Conserva- tive Club after the, declaration of the poll, where the successful candidates were heartily con- gratulated upon their victories. Councillor James Porter said that the Con- servative party had held their own in every TCI- spect-, especially with Dr. Prichardl as an alder- man (hear, he.ar). The opposition attack upon the Mayor in tho present contest had failed (hear, hear). The Conservative party had acted straightforwardly throughout the contest, and they were now in power, and: could make' theii own terms (applause).

He had never seen before such enthusiasm shown by the work mere. The number of votes recorded for him (Mr Porter) was the laorgest that had ever been recorded for any cajidadato Since Conway had been a borough, and it was a very proud position for any man to occupy (applause). His only regret was that, they had not got their fourth man in, but, however, ho supposed thdy must not be too greedy (ap- plause). Councillor Fred Jonee, who was greeted with loud cheering, said he was proud of the honour of going to the Council to serve under suedi an able leader as Mr Porter (hear, Shear). He assured them that he would always do his best for the welfare of the borough (applause). Mr T. O. Morgan, on behalf of Mr Hugh Jones, thanked all the workers, and Councillor A. G. Rogers did the same en be- half of Councillor Edward Jonee. Councillor Porter then called for three cheers for tho Mayor, which were heartily given. The Mayor, in acknowledging, said it was no eaty matter to carry four .seats. Their defeated candidate came a good sixth on the poll, so that he had every reason to feel proud of himFcIf.

IS SOCIALISM A BOGEY ? MR LLOYD GEORGE TELLS A SHROPSHIRE AUDIENCE IT IS. ENTERTAINING SPEECH. Straight from ibis arduous labours at the BOOTG' Off Trade offices in conneecioji with the tiareatened railway strike, ivjr .Lloyd George proceeded on Friday evening last to Sak>p, wnere he -addressed a meting i» the Auetice Hall, Madelcy- The right hon- gentleman lar from exhibiting- any signs of fatigue or anxiety, was in good torni. and delivered quite a rol- licking speech on Socialism. We doubi very much, however- whether our readers will agree with Air George in his reaeonmgs. We for our part- think 'hat the Socialist tendency is very real indeed, and far from being a begey or a spectre- Air George said the Tories were now devoting themselves entirely to Socialism. Wc41, he had no objection at all to their dbing c-o. They exaggerated it, and exaggerated it puTpoeely- From the way it balked 111 t.heir epeeohee one might imagine really t.hat Socialism was upon us, that the great revolution had arrived, that society was on t-he point of being turned upside down, that everything to be natioaiaii^cd, and that property was to be abolished. The country would really imagine that they wonk' W3.ke up tomorrow morning and find the whole world upside down. lliere were only fixe or six Socialists in the Houee of Commons; live cut of 600. Well, what were five amongst so many? (laughter). Tho Labctur people were not Sooialifite fhear, "boar)- In the H{)ue of Com- mons they assisted the Liberal party to carry practical measures (hear, hear)- And even thcx-.e .Socialists, though some of them might make very wild ppeeches outside, in tiie Ho<!¡oe ou Commons wero 'thoroughly tamo (laughter)- He had never heard them propa-e a. resolution in favour of upsetting society. He had never heard' a revolutionary statement emerging from them (hear, hear)- They were there amending the Trade Disputes Bill or tinkering up some other Bills, and doing some odd jobs of that kind in the Liberal workshops—(laughter and cheers),—in toct., ea-rnimg their living in an honest way in the great Parliamentary factory (laughter and cheery). That wis all right- What was all this cry, alii thie noise, all this rattle of musketry that was go.inc- on on Tory platforms about Socialism—the whole Tory army turned out and blazing away at the man in the moon.? (loud laughter)- What din1 it all mean? Well, Toryism got these fits now and again. "It is alwaye seeing boge,-s," proceed- ed the right hon. gentleman- "I even REMEMBER JOHN BRIGHT BEING A BOG EY. Never was there a more Conservative States- man in the real sense of the word Conservatism than Jorm Bright. "I remember Mr Joseph Chamberlain rigged up as a Tory bogey (laughter)- At every Toi^y meeting there you would find him rigigod up as a bogey-man. He was tne terror cf the Tory world (more laughter)- They whispered their child,ren to eieep by mentioning the oVead mwue of the man oi Birming-ham (tr-re&t laugh- ter). That wa the way they kept them in order- They eaid- 'If you go out in the dark Joseph Chamberlain will be there.' That ia not- long- ago. What about ihim now ? Now he is tricked out in the robee of oil archangel Oil every Tory platform (much laughter). In the old daye he was the man from whose dangerous cLwtdhea the Emtpire was to be oaved- now he is the clull-ly man who can save the Empire (laughter)- These bogeJB they c-ome and go. itae moment they have served their purpose they are put into the lumber-room- They are brought out in other ga^rbs. They are the theatrical propeJrty of the Tory business- Theee things are really frightening a good many of them, these poor, -riery", haw-civilised peo- ple (laughter any' cheere),—because it is peo- ple of t'hat sort wlho are easil^ frightened by bogeys. They thunk they see these things (great cheers and laugMesr)- It is a bad thing to be associated with the liquor traffic; you do see thin;ge-(Jaught.eT) i-and if they want real- ly to keep a clear, independent, heakhy frame of mind they will neither be frightened by Socialism nor by other bogeye. Let them help us to pase a Temperance Bill next, year (hear, hear). It will steady their nerves; it will clear their visions: it will purify their blood; it will really make of them healtihier neople, happier for themselves, and more useful ana1 service- able to the rest of their fellow-citizens (eheerfc). These are the people who believe in these bo- geys- But nKjSt of them are simply using them to frighten others. Socialism is the bogey ci to-day. I a good few of there bo- gevfi (hear, hear)- THE REAL IMPORTANCE OF SOCIALISM. Mr Lloyd George went on to say that he read the -her day a speech oi Lord Beaoons- field, in which he epoke against Republicamisin years ago. New Republicanism had taken up tihe garb of Socialism, amd there was juet as little and no move danger in one than in the other (diecns)- These were purely bogeys which the Tory party raked up to" frighten people from treading fearieeely along the path- of progress (hear, hear). No people of et-eedy hea,rt, of real courage: no people of reaJ pur- pose "Otùd allow themselves to be dominated for an instant by these epectree, which were simpJy got uip to frighten the unwary and the foolish (cheers)- The experience of men in political life was that wa« no d&njrei- of excessive speed- M.r Lyttelton talked on Thursday night about "eJow reform" (laughter). He need not worry- All reform was plow; all progress was slow. If these gentlemen wanted to help progress let them get off the brake, not put t,be brake on whtm going up the hill. Hhat was why he objected to the House of Lord's (cheers and shouts of "Throw 'em out"). They did not wan-t a IIous eof Lords which was to object to every movement which was really making for the improvement of the peo- ple (hear, hear). There was a certain advan- tage in Socialism, that it stirred people up to thank. The Tea] importance of Socialism was not, -the demand it made, but the grievances wiiicdi gave rise to it (hear, hear). It was the feeding- that there was something wrong where one man had wealth that he spent his whole day in trying to find out how he could con- sume whilb-t another man spent the whole day in trying to fiixj enough to keep misery, pover- ty, wiretchednoss fr,am the door of himself and his wife. Was that wrong? The eartih was made for the children of men (cheers). They were all entitled to a fair share-—all those who made good use of it—and a great wealtihy country life this, not merely the wealthiest per head of tho population but the wealthiest the worCld had ever teeni, this marble mansion that had taken centuries to rear, which was the pridle of its inhabitants amd the wonder oC the m-orld-i,t ought not, this great palace of mar- ble, to have; a single dtweiller, however poor, starving an meanest attio (cheers)- Tlhat was what, was really at the bottom of the un- rest of the people, and ur,t!ess we dealt with it he did not know what might happen. But it would not be the fault of SocialicJu: it would be the fault of the people who were trying to rvent them from dealing sensibly, moderate- ly, tompe-rately, in a workmanlike manner with those evils (cheers).

THE REMEDY OFFERED. This talk of Socialism was the swirl on the su.r'taae of the stream with the real unreet underneath, and unless eamething was done there would' be rapids which would sweep away many institutions to destruction. What wap the remedy offered for all tibia by the op- ponentis of the Government? The remedy they offered was to put a tax on the food of the people—(laughter and cheers-),—to butter their bread with taxes. Lord Milner had been, speakiirig recently—Lord Milner, t.he wrecker- His Lordship seemed to be colour-blind1- He succeeded in destroying every industry in the Transvaal and Orange River Oakmv for years, and having succeeded in destroying industries in thoao dominions he oame over here to try his handi on British industries, and he etarted by saying—the fir»>t thing you have got to do in order to help the people is to tax them (laughter and cheers). They were told that they should be selif-contained- Tfco only self- contained nation that be ever rememoored was Noah'a ark—(laughter),—aind his reood2ec+ion was that its in Habitants were jolly glad to get out of it (laughter and cheers). Tfaieae self- contained empires were not meant for this world, anJI they were not intei-Aled (laughter). He believed in the brotherhood oif races, where man should not life up epear against man, and where instead of consuming our substance to hurt, each other we should be united for the good of the whole race (loud chffers).

MOTORISTS AND THT UPKEEP OF ROADS. RAILWAY COMPANY MAKES CONCESSIONS TO FLINTSHIRE. Once again the question of the contributions of motoriete towards the upkeep of roads has been raised before the St. Asaph (Flint) Rural District Council. At the authority's monthly meeting on Friday, a letter was read from the Rhos Council suggesting joint action in approaching the Government with a view to ensuring that each county should have a propor- tionate share of the fees paid in respect of motors °aMr W. Oonwy Beil said he considered that a verv wise suggestion, and moved that the Council support it. fle said that at the present time tliev in Flintshire considered it very hard that they tiaj to keep up roads for a numbel- of cars -which wre registered in 'London and yet did not get any bone- fit from the fees paid. The County Council had 11en the matter much attention and it had been Drought to their notice that the London and North-Western Railway Company paid t hir fees to the 'London County Ojuncil for all the heavy cars t!)"y ran in Flinio.vre. The company had been approached- on the subject, and they had replied that in future they would re- gister all their Flintshire cars in that oounty. (Ap- pause). In future the county would get the benefit) of the fees.
